I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at IISER in Apr 2026
Interview
The interviewer started by saying that they don't have much time. Then they asked me to introduce myself, which I did and they asked me a question from my MTech project. Then they asked me to solve a maths problem which I was not confident in.
